Per kernel guidance, Bluetooth-reachable bugs are Adjacent.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race \u2014 the unlocked `sk_state` check in `sco_sock_connect()` lets concurrent connect()/close() calls on one socket deterministically leave a stale `conn-\u003esk`, and connection aborts can be forced at will by connecting to an unresponsive bdaddr or by a nearby device dropping the (e)SCO link. The sequence can be looped indefinitely until it wins.\nPR:L - No capability check exists in `bt_sock_create()`, `sco_sock_create()`, `sco_sock_bind()` or `sco_sock_connect()`, so any unprivileged local process can create, connect and close SCO sockets to drive the socket-lifecycle side of the race. Only basic user-level access is required.\nUI:N - Exploitation needs only socket syscalls plus Bluetooth link events; no victim action such as pairing confirmation, mounting or opening a file is required.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts kernel slab memory within the same kernel security authority; no VM, IOMMU or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The dangling `conn-\u003esk` is dereferenced in `sco_conn_ready()`, `sco_recv_frame()` and `sco_sock_hold()`, letting an attacker who reclaims the freed sock slot read and exfiltrate reclaimed kernel data (e.g. via `sock_queue_rcv_skb()` into a groomed object), giving arbitrary kernel-memory disclosure potential.\nI:H - `sco_conn_free()` performs an 8-byte write at a fixed offset into the freed allocation, and `sco_conn_ready()` makes an indirect call through `sk-\u003esk_state_change` on the freed sock \u2014 together a write primitive plus control-flow hijack enabling privilege escalation.\nA:H - Even unexploited, the slab-use-after-free corrupts kernel memory and reliably produces a KASAN splat/oops or panic, and the corrupted refcounts and pointers can hang or crash the Bluetooth stack and the system."

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
